For losses. In around 1900 many homes in europe would have looked like this bulky cupboards and chairs and pretty crowded. The bars designers wanted to break with that tradition and they were radical. Their Furniture Designs were simple with clear shapes and daring combinations of materials. Much of our modern fine. Sure today stems from these ideas. Its doing them powerhouse of our house 1st wanted to get an unobstructed up to date view about what it means to live somewhere that is what are all the functions of the chair for example before.

In. Having artists who also work as craftsmen was a revolutionary concept a 100 years ago but the powerhouse designers and students experimented freely with fabrics metals wood and ceramics the result was prototypes that could then go into industrial production. Luxury products made for the view was not the original goal of powerhouse its a was to make products for the masses but bauhaus furniture never made it into Cereal Production interview. Tool designed comes at a price.

Different way of developing furniture building from scratch based on a strong idea its a totally different approach to designing a product for the market thats as cheap as possible to make and has wide appeal we totally believe in what were doing.

The bow house pioneered the use of steel pipes for Home Furniture in the early 20th Century Steel was a material reserved for industry until muscle broyard built the 1st cantilever chair it remains one of the best known powerhouse chairs to this day instead of standing on 4 legs the supporting framework gives it the effect of being suspended in midair.

Sort to bring in a sense an order and come on this is the life of an interview i thought it was an inspiration that we can take on for our modern day and age. Through art and design and architecture in the wildest sense you try to provide a little calm a rest bite from the complexities and fast pace of life. And tide.

Christies was the auction house with the highest sales last year at 6000000000 euros. Well into the 1980 s. Options of the major houses were a society affair people dressed up to attend. In the 9090 s. Remote bidding became common with staff manning a bank of telephones. If around 2000 Online Options emerged with creators manning their mouths at home. Last october the art world suffered a huge shock when a girl with balloon by the street artist banksy self destructed just as the final hammer fell confirming the selling price of 1200000 euros. Banksy could build a shredder into the frame. Banksy renamed the heart shredded painting love he said with. But then something a very unintentional happened lovers in the bin that actually went up in value after it was shredded machines an Artificial Intelligence like in many other industries are putting their stamp on the world even in music listen to this. Thats the beatles writes. Financial fact this song was created by an algorithm so from computers make meaningful art or true art required to human soul behind what happens when Artificial Intelligence paper is adopted and doesnt sell. People all machines more creative ai is breaking into the art business and its turning everything on its head. Because it is no good music is an algorithm its a program that serves to generate variations on my art form i like the portals. Can make sheens be creative and if so how. The painter roman lipski works with Data Scientist Florian Dorman hes written a program phillips that analyzes the way he paints the colors and the composition and then creates new pictures based on all that information. It started with this picture since then the style has become progressively more abstract the muse has so far generated several 100000 pictures. Bit asserts that a picture is ultimately a matrix of number us and so one can imagine that the muse is actually a very clever Number Generator that can determine the color values of images in such a way that something new and exciting has created this noise and still. Heart of the music theres a pretrained Neural Network that can recognize all kinds of objects in a picture it was actually originally developed to distinguish cats from dogs. Few years ago researchers discovered that such a pretraining Neural Network can be used to extract certain features such as brightness colors shapes and even style from images. Always wanted to paint abstract pictures but it wasnt until he started creating works with the Computer Program that he really succeeded. What the computer came up with proved to be a source of inspiration. I mean a kind of dialogue with the muse in a loop and we influence each other to digital images inspire me to evolve. I see the music only as a tool it will never replace me. Or maybe it will alter fishel intelligence comes up with amazing results will algorithms soon rival human artists. Better times 5 is laden doesnt need a computer he creates busts of people who interest him unknown individuals and celebrities politicians activists or entrepreneurs. For the sculptor every last detail is important. Just 50 you see consulates the constellation is what really matters the volumes have to be arranged in such a way that intensities emerge through the curves the way something pushes up against Something Else yielding for example a depression here to. Each bust needs to reflect the subjects true character. People and that is there are of course different approaches to Artificial Intelligence things could go in a number of directions i can imagine that something will eventually come of it that works i just dont see what the advantage would be. High is laden spends many hours sometimes days with his living subjects working from photos a computer might be able to create busts that resemble their subjects but for this artist the human contact is crucial to this kid its always about. Spontaneity intuition and experience what ive looked at in the history of art and who did what and how and what to be achieved these are the resources i call of god its you and then there are spontaneous decision of surfaces emerge there cant be determined in advance did he miss for this is spontaneity indeed sensual to human creativity. More and more works created with the help of computers showing up in galleries as well as works the focus soliciting to Digital Technology and collectives of paying high prices for them based on ai generated portrayed it was sold at christies for more than 430000. 00 a formula has replaced the signature. And this rembrandt isnt the rembrandt to you is the work of a computer some pioneering artists busy putting the font into politicians intelligence and you know what it might need. Fashion but i think real art needs a real human artist and they really dont need the competition from computers they have a hard enough time as it is many of them can hardly on a living with their work among our artist in japan typically less than 1000000. 00 yen a year according to the countrys Illustrators Association but that might sound like a lot but its just a quarter of the japanese average wage and its a similar situation for ordinary writers in the United States someone who writes full time and about 20000. 00 less than half the average yearly earnings for americans and thats not much different for many of germanys freelance actors they are 14000 euros thats about 40 percent of the average income over here so the really big money in the arts is made elsewhere namely in the big auction houses we met someone who has a pretty good idea about whats hot and whats not stickball sells multi 1000000. 00 pieces for a living. 60000000000. That 1000000. 00 that this is where art collectors come for some high stakes gambling use of these prices simply reflect demand just look at who are the people who shell out millions at christies auction house. 71000500. Its always outstrips supply. Theres a lot of art out there but the focus is on the art that Society Considers most interesting as the. Ball is president of christys for europe the middle east russia and india. If anyone can explain why works of art can be so mind bogglingly expensive its him. Because its not the value of an artwork is 1st and foremost its thetic value its cultural value and thats determined by art history and the canon and today theres a consensus that because it was an interesting artist. When someone buys a piece for such a crazy price is out of love for art of mine environment is that my experience the overwhelming majority of collectors we encounter or i know personally are indeed interested in the art and not just in art as investment though of course there are investors as well versed on the work that fetched the highest price ever was sold at christies in new york in 2017 salvator monday a portrait of jesus from around 1503 ascribed by some experts to leonardo da vinci. 200000000 has been through out of w2cw who are limited to what the vision is dead it may be a significant or even important work of art but its also an investment it went to an anonymous better later revealed to be a saudi royal for 400000000. 00. 450000000. 00 when you include fees christies charges between 10 and 20 percent on top of the sale price of each work. At christies 400000000. 00 is the bread and the prius. So. How does does it has the art market changed in recent years that. Yes indeed as everything we do is speeding up nowadays is against the developments that used to take place one after the other also with regard to art and the discourse on art now occur in parallel at the same time. Draws public attention much faster we now have Global Trends where once there were local or Regional Trends but this also offers artists greater exposure we get to see more art these days.

About of collectors and curators are always keen to discover the next generation of interesting artists nowadays there are talent scouts who have an eye for such things that if a well known curator finds something exciting at a gallery and post it on instagram the whole world knows about it instantly. Is so forth. And loves it all online sales play an ever greater role. Thats what hes doing yes i think they will you know were already seeing the growth rate saw more than 40 percent of our new customers come via online auctions where the generation that grew up with the internet comes of age and becomes the main player in the art market well see that reflected in the way they engage with the market.
